Horil vs Keshav & Anr on 20 January, 2012

In the case of Horil Vs. Keshav & Anr. 2012 (2) BLJ Supreme Court 1, the Hon'ble Apex Court has held that under Section 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the Civil Court has inherent jurisdiction to try all types of civil disputes unless its jurisdiction is barred expressly or by necessary implication by any statutory provision and conferred on any other tribunal or authority. Section 37 of the Bihar Consolidation of Holdings Act provides that no civil Court shall entertain any suit or application to vary or set aside any decision or order given or passed under this Act with respect to any other matter for which a proceeding could or ought to have been taken under this Act. As stated above, the plaintiff never claimed to set aside any decision or order given or passed under the Consolidation Act with respect to any matter. The suit has been filed simply for declaration about the gift deed and partition and likewise the counter claim was also filed simply for the declaration of title. In my opinion, therefore, the jurisdiction of Civil Court under Section 37 of the Consolidation Act in the present case is not barred.
